Couldn't concentrate, couldn't focus. Every line, word, and figure escaped him every single time he looked away from it no matter how long he stared at the same section of paper- and he seemed to be doing a lot of that. Staring that is ( ... )

He had been working in the halls and, as such, missed the message on the network. The first indication he had that things were not right was the smell of cherries. In the moment before the world stopped spinning, he had one coherent thought, "But cherries don't smell like anything."

And then there were pandas. Pink pandas, little pandas, flying pandas, round pandas and square pandas. Lots and lots of panda.

Then he spotted a figure slumped against the wall. He crouched in front of him with his head cocked to the side and just stared.

Neji heard the steps but refused to open his eyes, mildly hoping they'd walk past him and leave him in this daze that had him so disoriented. In a distant part of his mind, he hoped the ship wouldn't find itself off-course, because.... well it wouldn't be good. No. Navigators needed to focus.

Can't focus...

He grunted a protest that had been a little more eloquent in his head (maybe) as the footsteps stopped and he felt the person crouch in front of him. Annoying.

Neji raised his hand to his head again and silvery eyes slit open in a tentative attempt to gauge whether or not the world had finally stopped. It was hard to tell, since he was wondering if he wasn't the one spinning instead even as the wall behind him told him otherwise.

Long hair, an angled face, feminine-looking and staring at him. Neji drew his legs to himself- a little defensive as his personal space felt crowded- and his voice echoed the one groggy phrase that was running through his brain.

"Go away, please."

White eyes. Did someone forget to colour them?

As if not hearing him at all, Ryuuki stretched out a hand and asked, "Are you a panda too?"

It didn't matter that the person didn't really look like a panda. After all, he had just been talking to a magenta panda not too long ago. If pandas could be magenta, why not human-shaped?

reborn_wings September 18 2010, 20:17:35 UTC

If he had been coherent, Neji would have had the sense to angle that hand away from his face- too close to his eyes for personal comfort. But instead he stared past it, incomprehensible of the question put to him.

He frowned, thinking that one over, eyebrows creasing in utmost concentration as he attempted to decide whether or not he resembled the animal. It was a fair question, given that he seemed to be wearing black and white. Pandas were furry though, weren't they? And had black eyes. His eyes weren't black.

"...no," he said eventually, still managing to sound relatively uncertain despite his own assessment. Then, because he decided it mattered and was important to know he asked, "Are you?"

anonymousryuuki September 18 2010, 20:52:47 UTC

And at that moment, Ryuuki knew something was off. After all, he hadn't even considered that question until now.

He tilted his head to one side thoughtfully.

"I dunno." He answered finally, "How do you know if you're a panda or not, Mr. Not-a-Panda?"

reborn_wings September 18 2010, 23:00:58 UTC

"I don't have fur," Neji replied, somewhat proud of this fact, "Or black eyes." Those things made all the difference, after all. It was almost rational.

A pause, some consideration, and he sounded thoughtful. "Maybe you should get checked. There's an infirmary here..." Though he couldn't remember where at the moment. Displeasure settled and the world promptly stopped spinning and shown in sharp contrast. Neji settled back, pleased with himself until he noticed something.

"You're black and white." He observed. And so was everything else, but that was far from the point.

anonymousryuuki September 18 2010, 23:41:06 UTC

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." Now he felt a bit silly for asking because it was so obvious.

He missed the suggestion about the infirmary because a fist-sized flying panda flew by in front of his face. It waved, and Ryuuki cheerfully waved back.

"Am not." He hadn't put his hair up today, so it was easy to pull a lock forward and dangle it in Mr. Not-a-Panda's face, "See?"

reborn_wings September 22 2010, 16:47:01 UTC

Neji frowned at it.

"No, you are." He insisted- a little grumpy someone would contradict what he saw. He saw everything- more than a lot of people. "My eyes are different than yours."

anonymousryuuki September 23 2010, 00:55:24 UTC

Ryuuki stared, first at Mr. Not-a-Panda, then at his hair, then his hands, then back at Mr. Not-a-Panda again.

"Am not. And it's only different 'cause someone forgot to colour them." He nodded sagely.

Then, as quick as his current state of mind would allow it (which, admittedly, wasn't all that quick), he had an Idea.

"Maybe," He said, letting go of the piece of hair he had been dangling in Mr. Not-a-Panda's face, "You can't see colour!"

Was it because no one put colour in his eyes?

He reached out to touch the side of the other's face.
